The kids are in the bathtub for the second time today. RJ loves the water and Emma thinks it is fun too. They played for over an hour today and RJ just stripped and took of his clothes a moment ago and went and got in by himself. He loves to turn the water on full blast and just let it run. I have to take the plug out, so it can drain quick enough to allow for him running it full blast. I'm sure we are going to make the hotel go broke for all the water we are using...not very environmentally friendly of us...but, it keeps them entertained for a few hours. And that is pretty great.
We've mostly just stayed in today. It is just too hot...and all there is to do outside is shop or go eat. We did play at the little playground again today, but it was soooo hot, we were all dripping in sweat after about 2 minutes. But Emma has made a little friend and that is nice. So, other than all that, we are just hanging out at the hotel...playing, bathing and trying to survive. Since the pool is much warmer here, I think we will try it again with RJ. I think we will love it under the right conditions.
We had to go out today to get RJ's visa picture taken, but other than that, no adoption work today....just waiting mostly to various paperwork to run its course. The adoption people continue to tell me that there will be no problem with my paperwork from Lanzhou...but it is the weekend and they won't really be able to check with the consulate until tomorrow. Yikes.

Just finished reading all the updates, and I'm just in awe of you :) This whole experience must take so much bravery and patience and faith. And after all his trials so far in life, that little boy is so lucky to be able to call you "Mommy". Good luck on the rest of your journey - I look forward to reading more as you continue on!
We love every description and event as you live it. We almost feel we are there viewing your various situations. Two more days and we will have you home. We have missed Susan and Emma so much and are so anxious to be grandparents to RJ Ping. He is as adorable as Emma.
JOY! JOY! JOY! PRAISE THE LORD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW! (From Grandpa Broberg) We are so thrilled it's beyond words to express. What darling pictures of RJ and his MOM. Give Emma the biggest hug you can do without breaking her ribs. We will see you late tomorrow night.
